Victorious with Bayern Munich, 3-1, Arsenal dominate this Champions League season, being the only team with 5 wins in the first 5 stages. The last time they managed something like that, the Londoners were one step away from the trophy!
Arsenal have beaten everything that has come their way this season in the Champions League. Moreover, he averaged nearly 3 goals per game (14 in total) and conceded just one last night against Bayern. It took a special phase for the defense of the “gunners” to be overcome.
Mikel Arteta's team lost to Athletic Club and Olympiakos, both 0-2, Atletico Madrid (0-4), Slavia Prague (0-3), now Bayern Munich (1-3).
Arsenal's year? The last time he reached the final!
The last time Arsenal recorded 5 consecutive wins in the Champions League, the London side reached the final of the competition!
It was happening, according to Opta, in the 2005/2006 season, the one in which Arsenal achieved their best ever run in the Champions League. Then, Thierry Henry & company lost in the final with Barcelona, 1-2.
Mikel Arteta: “Unbelievable game against the best team in Europe”
How did coach Mikel Arteta comment?
“First of all I have to congratulate my players as they played an incredible game against the best team in Europe. Individually they were huge in solving all the problems that such teams throw at them.
We started the week very well against Spurs, winning here at home. Today I got another huge win, but nothing more. Now we go home, enjoy a good dinner, and tomorrow we start preparations for Stamford Bridge (no – there is a championship duel with Chelsea).
We've certainly been very, very consistent in the competition so far, but it's just the beginning. I'm happy with what I saw today. The energy we created in the stadium, the energy the team shows on the pitch, the quality we play with… It's something incredible and we have to keep it that waybecause it's still early in the season.”
For Arsenal, there is a trip to Belgium, to Club Brugge. At least one point there would see them end the year in first place in the Champions League.
